      Medical Director Interview

      1 Nov 2024
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Vertex Pharmaceuticals

      Interview

      Initial screening interviews. Then had interviews one on one with 5-6 people, job talk with a question and answer session. Felt that the interviews were fairly standard compared to others and fairly reasonable.

      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Vertex Pharmaceuticals (Boston, MA) in Oct 2020

      Interview

      Virtual interviews due to COVID-19 done through Zoom. Interview process was smooth, but there were a LOT (> 10) interviews and the majority of them were conducted by people with no experience in interviewing potential employees.

      Question 1

      Why do you want to work here? Why are you leaving your job? Can you work in a matrix fast-paced environment? What value can you bring to us?

      Medical Director Interview

      3 Sept 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Cambridge, MA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Vertex Pharmaceuticals (Cambridge, MA) in Mar 2011

      Interview

      The first contact was friendly and very interesting, followed by several phone calls. After the first contact with the company, quickly you will notice that the panel will behave negatively and will not welcome you as a potential colleague. You will have the right feeling that you are going to face people who are protecting themselves. They will show you from the beginning that they are all very busy people, never available, changing the schedule continually until the last minute. Be patient the best is coming… During the interview day you will meet with at list 7 or 8 people. 80% are very unprofessional, thinking that they are the best, working for the number 1 pharmaceutical company; arrogant with no sense of basic communication savvy. When the lunch time will arrive, forget the restaurant, you will be served a “happy meal” with a bottle of water and no wasting time; you have to talk and eat at the same time. If you are a high potential, hard worker who is looking for a high standard professional environment, forget Vertex Cambridge, MA. Good Luck!!
